Catching up on phone calls, emails, texts and post.
Organising life in Margate for when I'm not here for a week.
And preparing and packing to catch the plane to the South of France.
Carcassonne is a highlight of France, an ancient medieval walled city, that rejoices in its origins and original features.

Over various days, I'll be lecturing on healing and Reiki subjects, psychic and mystical topics, and spiritual and angelic enlightenments.
There should be time to keep you posted!
Interestingly (if that's the right word?) the French government has warned that, due to predictions the world will end on Dec 21 this year, there may be mass suicides in nearby Bugarach.
Many cults say Bugarach is the only place that will survive the apocalypse. So people have rushed to Bugarach and the rocky outcrop of Pic de Bugarach to join cults as converts to be saved when the end of the world comes.
A French government watchdog, Miviludes, is monitoring the suicide risk and "suspicious spiritual activities". The President of Miviludes, Georges Fenech, said:
"I think we need to be careful. We shouldn't get paranoid, but when you see what happened at Waco in the United States, we know this kind of thinking can influence vulnerable people." (80 people died in Waco, Texas, in 1993)
Bugarach has been thought of for a long time as being magical.
The local population of 200 claim their mountain is upside down - the top layers of rock are older than lower layers. Some believe it conceals a base for aliens. Others believe it conceals an underground gateway to another world.
During adventures in Carcassonne, I'll visit this upside down mountain, a cult or two, and try to find the alien base :-)
Then if the world hasn't ended, I'll write about it, just for you.
